Bath re-enamelling at your home in Swinithwaite

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about an old resurfacing that’s failing and an outdated colour you’d like to change.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Swinithwaite

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Details of any past repairs

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What we’re called out for in Swinithwaite

Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

The things customers usually mention when they call include:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Several chips and rust patches

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Aftercare advice
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How long it needs to cure

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

FAQs for Swinithwaite

What areas do you cover?

All of North Yorkshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Will the bath be moved?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

The process

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
